Delivery of Alcohol Packages

Delivery can only be made to an address where an individual at least 21 years old can sign for the shipment during regular business hours. Products can be shipped to a place of business or residence. We cannot ship to a P.O. Box or APO Boxes.  Purchaser and recipient must be over the age of 21 to purchase alcohol.
For all alcohol orders, an adult 21 years or older must be available to sign for the order.

Warning: Certain states and local governments expressly prohibit the direct importation of alcohol and violation can be punishable as a misdemeanor or felony.

It is ABP’s policy NOT to ship to certain states where direct shipment is recognizably prohibited and therefore, our web site may not let you place an order and orders may be cancelled at any time if you are in such a state.  In the event you believe you have been prohibited from ordering in error, please contact us at info@abetterpour.com.
